FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Lockford Boat shoe has a slim profile. While the lace fastening allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on in person or checking customer reviews for fit feedback is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as they can be easily stained and damaged by water. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection, but caution is still advised.
How long does the Contour Cushion footbed last?
The Contour Cushion footbed is designed for durability and sustained comfort. While it should provide long-lasting support, its lifespan can be influenced by frequency of wear and walking surfaces. Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain its integrity.
What is the best way to clean mud off the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely first. Then, gently brush off the dried mud using a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Can these shoes be worn without socks?
Yes, these boat shoes are designed to be worn with or without socks. The leather sock lining can offer some comfort against the skin, but wearing thin, no-show socks is also an option.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber, providing traction and grip.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Lockford Boat shoe is available in various colors. Please check the product listings for available color options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider a shoe stretcher or consult a cobbler.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure the lace eyelets are clear. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, sturdy laces.
Outsole grip is reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
